do you feel that crawl control is a must on gx? Is luxury model even worth the money?

I apologize that I did not see your reply and question before now. I use crawl control only very occasionally. However, when I do use it, it is really a nice feature as it literally allows you to both accelerate and brake without taking your foot off of the throttle pedal. Going up or down a very steep hill is where you would use it the most.

So crawl is 5 different speeds? FSM seems to suggest that. I assume DAC on "non-crawl" models is basically a fixed speed downhill crawl control. I've used it a few times on steep hills. There is mention in FSM about overheating issues if used for extended periods of time.

Crawl Control - 1 to 5 MPH
DAC- appears to be around 3 MPH

You can use Crawl Control while in any gear, but normally, it would only be used in first gear as first gear would give you the most control and 'crawl' with it.

For crawl control if it was just a BCM and console switch swap like in the 4Runner...might be something for me to think about.. not positive a new master cylinder is needed though. I notice '10-'13 they had standalone crawl available as an option but I can't say I've seen that unicorn. That might be rarer than the GX's without nav.

That very well could be.... I've thrown this out there to give thought to the adventurous souls who want to travel the path first :-)

At minimum a new switch and a BCM. The big expensive if....is if a different master cylinder is needed. The BCM new is not too bad at around $500...used probably half that. The 4Runner guy didn't need the master cylinder replaced.
